@cecilia200879 Why? Most horses I know love cross country. It can put you off if all you see is on the internet though- the ugly jumps do get more "press" then the nice ones lol I may be a little biased though, being an eventer and all

I've always been against cross country even though I ride dressage. I feel really sorry for the horses

the games were in hongkong not in Beijing
Yes, the sport is quite hard on the horses, but most of them LOVE cross country. I know it looks like the riders pull on the horse's mouth, but you have to keep a connection in order to stay in control. Horses at this level are running flat out, and if you don't have a connection to balance before a jump, it could get very unsafe.
But man, that pic at 1:57 is intense!
